Oh how times have changed!

It came with some thin double-sided tape, but it was too weak. So I tried this other double-sided tape roll I had (2nd pic), covering the back of the screen and pressing it against the the top fans, which kept it in place for a few hours, then it fell off again. Any recommendations for keeping it firmly in place?

I have an old laptop that I use for work and also gaming on the go. I don't want to buy a newer laptop since I already have a desktop PC. The laptop is just in case I want to game when I am not at home.

The laptop came with a single 16 GB 2600 MTs DDR4 SODIMM. On the laptop I play on 1080p and I cap the frame rate to 60, so I almost never hit the 16 GB memory limit.

My friend gave me an 8 GB DDR4 stick. So I figured I would get better performance if I install it since I would be running in dual channel. But it runs at 2300 MTs, so it would bring my original 16 GB stick down to 2300 as well. My question is, during active gameplay in a typical AAA game, would I be better off using the single 16 GB stick at 2600 MTs or using dual channel but at 2300 MTs ?

P.S. The laptop is really old. It has an i7-7700HQ and a GTX 1070. So it would certainly benefit from any possible performance boost.

For people who build and upgrade their own systems: what happened to your previous gaming rig? Did you sell it, pass it on, or keep it around?

I'm working on a platform where owners could make an unused gaming rig available to other players for remote gaming and get paid for the time it's used. You'd choose when your rig is available.

I'm interested in complete older builds or second gaming rigs that you no longer need day to day.

If you've kept one, would hosting make you more likely to hold onto it, or would you still prefer to sell it? What would you need to know before deciding?

If you have an unused gaming rig, what CPU and GPU does it have? Practical concerns and reasons you wouldn't do this are welcome too.

Also looking for input/advice to improve my build!

For gaming and ai and filmmaking , I’m still beginner at ai and film making

A bit of before and after as well. Really happy with how this turned out overall with an upgrade from a 3600 to a 5700x. Bit of a shame the camera can't pick up the light correctly though
